In light of the recent changes to the usage of credit cards, we thought it important to point out that we do not pass along a surcharge for credit card transactions. Under the terms of a $7.2 billion settlement reached last summer between credit card companies and merchants, merchants in some states could impose a surcharge on customers paying by credit card. This is both illegal in the state of New York, where we are located, and, from our standpoint, morally and ethically reprehensible. You may want to check with whomever you do business with to determine their credit card policy.
